Discarded books are an inexpensive (often free) treasure trove of assemblage materials and inspiration. In this workshop, participants are guided through the creation of a small assemblage project. A title section sliced from the spine of a discarded book provides the theme of the work and stimulates ideas. Participants excavate the entire book and its usable parts, working on a prepared support panel and building up layers of found objects and other materials as the theme evolves. Participants leave the workshop with an assemblage piece and learn techniques and methods to create similar work on their own.
